is it not possible men and women are different? (Score 0)

The politics of this is way too charged. If the issue is whether the president of harvard should have opened his big mouth, then no I think he should have shown more tact. If you want to argue the deeper issue at hand, there is no reason that men and women have different abilities in different areas, and their bodies as well as their brains work in different ways. Men and woman's bodies are clearly different, as well as some of our internal organs, so why cant our brains be different? Clearly men and women act differently and from an evolutionary perspective men and women need this difference for humans to survive. Its a matter of men and women complimenting each other. Women make up in areas that men lack, and vice versa. I think in any strong relationship this is true. If a man and a woman are too much alike, then somehow it doesnt work. Ultimately a man and a woman are a team, and its an advantage if the woman is stronger is some areas, while the man stronger in other. So perhaps men in general are better at math and science. I'm not saying its true for sure, and I can't sit here and prove it to you. But this possibility is not so far flung, and furthermore I think we live in a much better place due to the fact that men and women have different strengths.
